Description
(Text)
The intent of this book is to provide ideas andsupport for integrating form with content; this isdone through presenting qualitative and quantitativeresults from an experiment involving beginning andintermediate learners of French. The quantitativeexperiment tests the effect of integratinggrammatical and lexical forms (i.e., focus-on-form)into a content- (culture) enriched lesson. Theresults show positive support for integrating grammarand vocabulary within a cultural lesson. Thequalitative aspects of the study concern teachers?implementation of specific instructions during alesson, as well as their language choice in theclassroom (English vs. French). The data reveal thateven when given specific instructions to carry out alesson, teachers tend to follow their naturalteaching style. Regarding language choice, teacherschoose English in instances of immediatetranslations, delayed translations, and feedback totheir students. Suggestions of pedagogicalapplications for teaching second language culture andof theoretical implications are proposed for secondlanguage teachers, teacher educators, and researchers.
